Sell! Borrow! Succeed! [Recessionomics]

The Way We Live Now: Sell! Sell! Sell! Sell it all! Sell it off! Take! Take the money out! Take it! Sorry. Just had to dump stocks from that "rally," ha. Anyhow: loan sharks are back!

What has been going on in "the market" today, you may ask? Sell! Sell! Sell! The stock market was on a big tear the last week or so and now everybody is selling everything off as fast as possible because, as we all know, the US financial system is built on a foundation of rotten balsa wood, and the termites have been hungry lately.

Not to fear, foolish investors! Your friendly neighborhood loan shark is ready and willing to give you a much-needed loan, as well as maybe a shark bite (from a gun). Shop around! Interest rates range from 60% to 2347%, so don't just jump at the first usurious deal you hear!

Hey, it's better than selling your parents, right? Eh? Well what kind of price are we talking, here?
